A feast for the dead. A fight for the living. ❤️🔪
Jeena Yi’s riotous and heart-wrenching new play explores the idea of the “perfect family gathering.” When four estranged Korean American sisters reunite in Orange County to perform their father’s Jesa—a traditional ritual honoring the dead. Old wounds erupt, secrets surface, and ghosts (literal and emotional) refuse to stay buried…
Come for the sibling brawls and burning shrimp, stay for the aching truth of what binds us.
You won’t want to miss all the drama!

takes a village, and this one happens to make really good 반찬 🫂
about two years ago during AANHPI night i spoke on how i was unsure what it meant to be an asian body on stage. thank you to jeena, mei ann, my JESA sisters and everyone involved for changing that. what an honor it is to be asian, especially on stage.
happy opening! come check us out through april 12. we have lots of food.
